Living In A White Box: Homey Houseplants

When you live in an apartment, it can be tough to achieve that homey feeling. I’ve lived in apartments for nearly 20 years and sadly, most of them look the same. White walls, basic flooring, mini-blinds… it can be challenging to know how to make it feel unique and personalized.

Luckily, with a little DIY mojo and not much money, you can give your home the decor it (and you!) deserves. One of my favorite ways of creating that homey feeling is with houseplants. Houseplants tout wonderful benefits. They help purify the air, add natural energy to your home, infuse your space with color, and allow you to develop your nurturing side. If you talk to em like I do, you’ll be quite the proud mama (or papa). Here are some ideas & tutorials for giving your new plant babies a stylish new home.

Most landlords aren’t keen on holes in the walls, so hooks for hanging plants may be a no-go for your home. Enter this stylish alternative: a metal clothing rack to display your hanging baskets. (The interwebs are full of tutorials on how to build these from plumbing materials, if you want the DIY route.)
